Just entering Portuguese waters. 565 miles to go to
Malaga.
Strong wind night - 30-35 knots, but comfortable
since from behind. We've been making 9-10 knots so great
progress.
A wonderful dolphin spectacle last night. In the
dead of night, before the moon had risen (so pitch black) I heard the
unmistakable exhale of a dolphin. Looking into the water I could see two of them
doing their usual antics of speeding up the side of the boat - lit by their own
phosphorescence. They looked like two torpedoes looping off and zooming back
leaving a trail of lights as they went. Magical.
